As we ask the industry to start reopening, the least we can do is to prioritise essential staff for vaccinations.
That’s why we, in Mauritius, have declared tourism staff as essential front-line staff and are offering vaccinations to everyone who works in the tourism sector as a priority, alongside healthcare workers and the vulnerable.
This means that from the very start of our vaccination programme we have been vaccinating hotel employees, airport and airline staff, alongside doctors and care workers, to ensure they are fully protected for when travel restrictions are lifted.
